Oh ok, yeah I don't think that would be good with my current control panel even if the joysticks weren't angled.  Seems like it would get really confusing sitting at the 3rd and 4th player spots using the 1 and 2 joysticks.

Not going to set up my control panel for a game I don't play a lot.  My plan is to get me and a few friends drunk and see if we can use angled or not angled.  Which one ever has the most success in that state will be the state my CP stays in.  LOL

Since this topic seems to come up often around here, I've been paying attention to stick angling on original machines.  Sometimes it's hard to tell if the layouts are truly originals or someone recreating a machine or doing a conversion.  I've seen pictures of Open Ice and Rampage: World Tour machines with angled sticks yet it seems the actual originals were not angled. As far as I can tell, these machines did indeed use angled sticks for the outside players:

WWF Wrestlefest
King of the Dragons
Desert Assault
Violent Storm
Captain America & the Avengers
NBA Jam Extreme
Hard Yardage
Pit Fighter
Combatribes
Xenophobe

Since there are so many 3 and 4 player cabs that I can't even find pictures of, I'm sure this list should be much larger.  The Smash TV argument is a pretty good reason not to angle your sticks but I honestly think the whole myth about no commercial cabinets angling the outer sticks is pretty silly.

Here is an angled cab I found a while back:
